This Project Grant award of $225,528 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will support research to investigate the mechanisms by which the maternal gut microbiome contributes to adverse fetal and perinatal outcomes after influenza A virus (IAV) infection during pregnancy. The central hypothesis is that IAV-induced changes in the diversity and composition of the maternal gut...
This federal Project Grant award of $219,456 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to understand how sterile inflammation at the maternal-fetal interface impacts the developing fetal immune system in a non-human primate model. The research aims to test the hypotheses that 1) injecting the clotting agent Tisseel into the maternal-fetal interface leads to placental inflammation, and 2) this...
This $315,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will be used by the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to conduct research on the interactions between the vaginal virome and bacterial vaginosis (BV), as well as the impact on HIV acquisition risk. The study aims to characterize the vaginal virome and its role in BV...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (CFDA 93.865 - Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research) provides $533,750.00 to the University of Florida to study the role of macrophages in the increased HIV risk associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV). The research aims to determine how a non-optimal vaginal microbiome affects the activation and "training" of macrophages towards an HIV-permissive phenotype. This will be...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under CFDA Program 93.865 Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research, supports research to determine the role of proinflammatory responses in gestational hypoxia-induced maternal neurobiological and behavioral changes throughout pregnancy and postpartum. The total funding amount is $117,226, with a project period from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2027. The research will be conducted...
This Project Grant award of $193,582 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to determine the impact of the small intestine microbiota of undernourished mothers with environmental enteric dysfunction on vascular remodeling at the maternal-fetal interface. The research aims to characterize the effects of the gut microbiota on placental and fetal development,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), provides $414,026 to Childrens Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio to conduct research on determining the mechanism by which maternal interleukin-10 (IL-10) restricts fetal emergency myelopoiesis, with the goal of improving neonatal outcomes. The research aims to identify the IL-10-responsive...
This Project Grant award of $248,999 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports research to identify effective therapeutic agents for managing infection-induced preterm labor (III-PTL) and protecting against fetal inflammation. The key activities under this award include: 1) Optimizing a high-throughput screening assay to measure changes in pro-inflammatory cytokines...
This federal Project Grant award of $418,178 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to provide mechanistic insights into the neurobiological mechanisms by which maternal sensitivity is compromised by postpartum depression. Specifically, the University of Massachusetts (UMass), through its Office of Grant & Contract Administration, will use intersectional viral...
This Project Grant award of $1,040,056 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports research to elucidate the role of leukocytes and their derived cytokines in the ovulatory process in humans. The study aims to characterize the expression profile of these cytokines and their receptors in dominant follicles throughout the ovulatory period, and to determine the impact of...

This Project Grant award of $783,611.06 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) will support research to examine the impact of maternal inflammation and viral infection during pregnancy on the development of fetal gamma-delta (γδ) T cells. The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College will conduct a comprehensive assessment of how maternal immune activation influences the transcriptional and epigenetic profile of fetal thymic γδ T cell development, the underlying mechanisms, and the effects of placenta-tropic viral infection. The proposed studies aim to advance the understanding of how the maternal environment shapes prenatal immune system development and the potential long-term implications for offspring health. The award period runs from September 5, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
